As strange as it sounds the friends battled it out at the board game when they were hanging out at Jay-Zs new club recently.

In his first blog since the death of his mother Kanye thanked fans for the support and talked of playing Connect 4 with his entourage and rapper Common.

He wrote: When I was in Europe I would play this game (Connect 4) for hours and hours... it helped me zone out. Everybody would get involved.

West continued: But every now and then people would speak of this legendary connect 4 champion... BEYONCE!!! I had 2 play her!.. So last night at Jay's new 40/40 club in Las Vegas she beat me 9 times in a row!"
